By default, the Intel WS-MAN Translator has logging turned off. To turn logging on, browse to "C:\Program Files\Intel Corporation\Intel WS-Management Translator\" directory and open "wstrans.exe.config" file with a text editor. Within the wstrans.exe.config file, browse to the the system.diagnostics section. You can change the values of the switches from "off" to "verbose".

<system.diagnostics>

<switches>

<add name="Intel.Wstrans" value="verbose" />
<add name="Intel.Wstrans.Eoi" value="verbose" />
<add name="Intel.Wstrans.WsMan" value="verbose" />

</switches>

</system.diagnostics>

After you make the changes, you will be required to restart the Intel WS-MAN translator service for the changes to take effect. After which, the Intel WS-MAN Translator will report actions and errors in the "C:\Program Files\Intel Corporation\Intel WS-Management Translator\wstrans.log".

The wstrans.log has been formatted to allow easy readablity via Microsoft SMS Trace utility which is included in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Toolkit.
